Cheats (Recovering a Companion)

[Olligarchy]

This issue emerged for me last month or so, and I´ve tried to contact Owlcat about it, but doesn´t seem like I will be receiving a response, so figured I would ask here if anyone knows ways to cheat to spawn a companion?

Basically I need to get Ekundayo back since his quest bugged out for me at the bridge right after the trolls. I simply get the first text piece about Ekundayo looking at me tiredly, only for the cutscene to end without him anywhere in sight. Read a bit forward on where he would show up next, but the character does not appear to have spawned there either... so basically have given up on trying to get the character back "legally", but as I have spent substantial amount of time on making him a core member of my party I sort of need and want to recover him for gameplay reasons.

Any help would be appreciated.

The last section, on "Companion Availability", looks like it would do just what you need.

The guide assumes you use Windows. On a Mac, I've found that the best tool for opening zip files without extracting them fully is BetterZip (as opposed to WinZip on Windows.) An equivalent tool must exist for Linux too, but I don't know offhand what it is.
